Greetings,
It is my honor, as the Basileus of the Iota Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., and on behalf of my Brothers to welcome you to our website. Our Chapter and its members have been striving to ensure that we improve the quality and advancement of the Grand Rapids community since 1974. Our organization’s cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift drive our actions and motivates us constantly.
We ask for your continued support of our services, social and charitable endeavors throughout the year. Some of the initiatives that we will be undertaking are: Adopt A Family, Voter Registration and Mobilization, Health Initiatives, Achievement Week and our annual Purple Carpet Scholarship Ball, where we recognize high school students for their high academic performance, as well as honoring people in our community for their outstanding achievements and community service. Also, the year 2024 is of special significance as we will be celebrating our Chapter’s 50th Anniversary. We have several events and activities planned to celebrate this significant milestone. Please review the website to learn more about our Chapter, programs, and the ways we provide services to our community.
